中 文 版 / ENG Version / 相 片 Pictures

　　金文泰中學，原稱官立漢文中學，創立於一九二六年三月一日。本校的創立，共有三項宗旨：（一）於注重中國文字中仍兼顧實用英文，以造就良好青年應世；（二）培育完善中文教師以借中文學校師資；（三）教養學子，使能升讀大學，專研中國語言、文學、歷史、哲學等。因此七十多年來，本校一直堅持母語教學，亦非常重視英文。

　　創校之時，校長一職，由漢文視學官李景康先生兼任。

　　一九四一年冬，太平洋戰爭爆發，本校被迫停辦。四年後，香港重光，本校復課。次年，易名為官立漢文高級中學。

　　一九五一年，本校改稱為金文泰中學，不單為了紀念金文泰爵士於一九二五年至一九三零年出任香港總督，更因為金文泰爵士擁有湛深的中文造詣，任內又致力提倡高等漢文教育，並與本校的創立有密切關係。

　　一九六一年九月，位於北角炮台山道的新校落成。九月二十三日開始遷入，二十六日正式啟用，直至今天。

　　本校獲校友提名，參加二零零零至二零零一年度優質教育基金主辦的傑出學校獎勵計劃，結果在校風及培育一項評選中獲頒優異獎。

　　評選團高度讚賞本校的團隊精神，欣賞全體員工都有共同的教育理念，且能同心一德，追求理想，履行使命；更難得的是校內師生能互信互愛，同事能互助互勉，校園溫情洋溢，氣氛融洽。評選團也嘉許校方能製定清晰明確的目標，全面發展學生的潛能，提供優質均衡的教育，建立淳樸優良的校風。他們並讚賞學校設立一套完善的評核制度，表揚工作表現優異的教職員，鼓勵員工互相觀摩學習，交流經驗，提升專業技能。

　　本校為香港歷史最悠久的中文中學，極度重視兩文三語，品德教育及課外活動亦受到同樣的注重，所以本校校風純樸，學生均尊師重道。此等優良傳統，我校師生定必越益發揚。

SCHOOL HISTORY(ENGLISH VERSION)
　　
　　Clementi Secondary School came into existence in 1926 under the name of Clementi Government Vernacular Middle School. The school was founded on three principles, viz, (i) to give significant attention to the Chinese language while recognising the pragmatic value of English, so as to facilitate the development of young people with good character for society; (ii) to promote the professional development of Chinese language teachers, in order to provide Chinese medium schools with quality Chinese teachers; (iii) to prepare students for continuous education at university level, and for research in Chinese language, literature, history and philosophy. Therefore for over seventy years the school persisted in Chinese medium of instruction, while emphasising the importance of English.

　　When the school was founded by Mr. Li King Hong, then a Chinese language inspector of schools, was appointed the first Principal of the school.

　　During the Second World War, the school had to suspend its operation. A year later, classes resumed and the school was renamed Government Vernacular Senior Middle School.

　　The school was renamed Clementi Middle School in 1951 before it adopted its current name Clementi Secondary School in 1988, to commemorate the contributions made by the late Governor of Hong Kong to Chinese education.

　　In its inception stage, the school operated on various premises. On 23rd September 1961, it finally moved to its current address at Fortress Hill Road, North Point.

　　In 1999 the school was nominated by its past student association to enter for the Outstanding School Awards election, sponsored by the Quality Education Fund. As a result, the school was awarded a Certificate of Merit in the domain of Support for Students and School Echos. The prize giving ceremony took place in July 2001. In 2002, the school was invited by the Quality Education Fund and Education Department to participate in the Schools' Professional Collaboration Project by sharing successful school practices with other educational bodies.

　　The Adjudication Panel was particularly impressed with the team spirit of teachers who share a common school mission and educational beliefs and work together in implementing programmes to provide pastoral care for all students. Both teachers and students have a very strong sense of belonging to the school. With the strong support from the active Parent-Teacher Association and the school management for home-school activities, and proactive parental involvement, a productive home-school partnership has been forged for students' all round development. The support given by the alumni is very strong as well. Extra-curricular activities, cross-curricular programmes, and annual mass programmes provide ample opportunities for students to develop their social skills, leadership, and civic awareness. Students also benefit from programmes in family education and environmental education. A warm, supportive and caring relationship exists among teachers and students.

　　Clementi Secondary School is the oldest secondary school in Hong Kong, using Chinese as the medium of instruction. It emphasises the importance of proficiency in both English and Chinese, and plays a significant role in the promotion of moral education through students' participation in extra-curricular activities. The school consequently has developed an ethos which upholds respect for teachers and positive values. Students and teachers of our school will carry on the mission of propagating its admirable tradition.
